Specifications

 On page 40, we’ll run programs on DSP A and DSP B and we’ll run "monolithic

programs." Moreover, we’ll "tweak" their parameters.

 Finally, on page 43, we’ll learn how to save the programs you’ve "tweaked" for future

use.

HOOKING UP AND INTERNAL ROUTING

Before we concentrate on what happens inside the H8000FW, we ought to get it hooked

up to the rest of your rack.

 See The Back Panel on page 9 for information on the jack types and their specifications.

Hook up the analog inputs to suitable output

sources, such as an analog mixer’s effect sends

or the outputs of a preamplifier. The

connections may be made with either balanced

XLR connectors or unbalanced 1/4" connectors. You can plug a guitar into the 1/4"

jacks, but you will need to turn up the input gain. This happens at the "bottom" inputs

menu page in the LEVELS area.

 See Setting Input Levels on page 36.

 Hook up the balanced analog outputs to suitable input recipients, such as an analog

mixer or an amplifier.

 Hook up the AES/EBU, S/P DIF, and/or ADAT digital inputs to suitable output

sources, such as a computer interface or a keyboard with digital outputs.

 Hook up the digital outputs to suitable input recipients, such as a computer interface

or a sampler.

You can specify whether the S/P DIF and

AES/EBU 1/2 output signal uses the

"consumer" or "professional" protocol at the

"second"

format menu page in the SETUP area. To select the "consumer" protocol set

DOUT 1/2 to S/P DIF. To select the "professional" protocol set DOUT 1/2 to AES/EBU.

(H8000 display shown; H8000FW is slightly different.)

To be clear, the signal assigned to digital outputs 1/2 will come out both the AES/EBU

1/2 port and the S/P DIF port regardless of your choice. Your choice simply defines the

digital protocol the signal will use. Both AES/EBU 1/2 and S/P DIF use the same protocol

as defined on this menu page. Use the professional (AES/EBU) protocol unless you have
